Nine minutes went by. Five minutes, four, three, two, one. Still no word on Darvish. Perhaps the biggest pitcher on the market just wouldn't go this time.
It remains unclear whether Yu Darvish was traded in minutes before 4 pm ET. @MLB

Texas was smart to hang onto him, I mean, he's a guy that can throw righty and lefty and -- WHAT!

Yes, moments after the hour passed, news of a Darvish trade to the Dodgers broke the internet.
Can confirm the Dodgers have acquired Yu Darvish. Let's get weird.
